Description


This is a good example of the 1854 Pharoah and Company map of part of the Amravati Division or the districts of Akola, Buldhana and Amravati in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It covers the circars or sarkars of Nurnulla and Gawilghur ruled by the Nizam of Hyderabad under the protection of the British East India Company. The map notes important towns, rivers, roads, and topography and extends from Patur north to the Melghat Tiger Reserve and from Chikhli east to the Wardha River.

Circars or Sarkars were historical division of a province used in the Mughal states of India. The regions of Nurnulla and Gawilghur were part of the princely state of Hyderabad from 1724 to 1948, until the Nizam was overthrown by the Indian Armed Forces following its independence.

This map was engraved by J. and C. Walker and issued as plate no. 39 by Pharoah and Company in their 1854 Atlas of Southern India.

Pharoah and Company, An Atlas of the Southern Part of India including Plans of all the Principal Towns and Cantonments, reduced from the Grand Trigonometrical Survey of India shewing also The Tenasserim Provinces, (Madras) 1854.     The Pharoah and Company Atlas of Southern India was published around 1854. The medium format 4to atlas contained some 70 maps focusing on the southern part of Indian and the Tanasserium Province, or Burma. The atlas was engraved an printed in London by J. and C. Walker, but seems to have been issued only in Madras, India, by J. B. Pharoah and Company. The atlas claims to have been "reduced from the Grand Trigonometrical Survey of India," and, in fact the survey did provide a framework for the atlas, but little of the actual cartographic detail. The atlas is rather novel in that it has universal scale of 16 miles to the inch (1 : 1013760) for most of its regional maps. In addition to its regional maps, the atlas also contained 21city plans. These plans are some of the only obtainable mid-195h century maps of many South Indian cities. It also contained a rare map of Singapore.
